Current Operations
The buying-selling operation involves the relationship between two economic agents: the buyer or the customer and the seller or the supplier.
When the buyer makes a purchase of goods or services, the seller must provide them with an invoice.
The invoice is a mandatory document established between the seller and the buyer; it is a justificatory piece drawn up by the
supplier to illustrate the conditions under which it sold goods and services to the client.
I. Operation on invoice must:
The invoice must be an invoice that generally mentions the amount that the client owes to the vendor, i.e., the seller's receivable.
on the buyer after a sale operation. The invoice must be the original invoice of a purchase/sale transaction.

Commercial discounts on invoices should not be accounted for.
Commercial discounts are deducted first from the gross amount of the invoice, which gives us the net amount.

b. Transportation costs:
The invoicing of transportation fees for clients is very common in practice. Two cases are to be distinguished: Only the transport
assured by the supplier by its own means (Freight loaded), whether the transport is assured by a third party (Port
outlay).

II. Operation on credit note invoice:
In the event that the customer returns to the supplier a part or all of the merchandise that does not conform to the order,
the supplier must send him a new invoice called credit invoice. So, after billing and delivery of
merchandise, the customer may benefit from a credit note as a result:
- of a return of non-compliant or defective goods.
- of a reduction granted late or not provided for in the initial invoice.
If the invoice represents a debt of the supplier to the client, the opposite is true for the credit note that represents a debt of the client.
supplier towards its client.
1. Return of goods:
The credit note for the return of goods must be issued referencing the invoice due.
In accounting, you simply need to reverse the initial entry (contra entry) for the amounts.

- For the client: they are recorded as credit to account: 6119 or 6129 RRR obtained from purchases. The credit balance of
These accounts lead to a decrease in purchases.
b. Financial reduction:
After the initial invoicing and following an early payment, the client can benefit from a financial reduction granted by
his supplier.
The financial discounts on the Credit Invoice are recorded in the same way as on the Debit Invoice.
- For the client: they are recorded in the credit of account 7386 discounts obtained on purchases.
- For the supplier: they are recorded on the account debit: 6386 agreed by the company.

THE PACKAGINGS
Commercial packaging is objects intended to hold products or goods and delivered to customers.
same time as their content.
We distinguish between two types of commercial packaging:
- Lost packaging: They are delivered to customers with their content without a deposit or return (the boxes, the bottles, the
plastic bottles, the bags.
- Recoverable packaging: They are subdivided into identifiable recoverable packaging unit by unit (Tankers,
Containers, barrels, boxes are recoverable packaging that are not identifiable unit by unit (glass bottles, boxes)
in wood, Gas bottle pallets). These packaging can be lent, rented, or consigned.
The packaging that is intended to be used interchangeably as lost packaging or as packaging
Mixed packaging is called recoverable.

II. Operations on packaging:
1. Consignment of packaging:
The consignment of packaging is an operation that involves delivering the packaging with the goods to the customer who
must return them to the supplier who remains the owner of the packaging.
The supplier requests in return for the loan of packaging a sum of money that he commits to repay upon
return of packaging.
For the supplier: the deposit constitutes a debt to the client.
For the client: the deposit constitutes a debt to the supplier.
The consignment price is a security deposit, it should not be subject to VAT.
Example: on January 6, the company sells M/SES to its client DRISS and consigns 80 boxes at 20 DH including tax each that he must...
return before January 20.
MB 40,000
5% discount 2,000
net commercial 38,000
- 1% discount 380
net financial (excluding tax) 37.620
+ VAT 20% 7.524
reusable packaging
(80 boxes x 20 DH) 1.600
net to be paid (including tax) 46.744
2. Unpacking of packaging:
Upon returning the packaging by the customer, two cases may arise:
a. Packaging returned at the deposit price:
This operation is financially neutral; it represents neither an expense nor a revenue.
Example: on January 20, Client DRISS returns 60 crates on January 6 at their deposit prices. On the same day
the company sends him the following credit invoice No. AV-78:
Return of deposited cash registers
(60 boxes x 20 DH) 1200
net to deduct 1200

b. Packaging taken back at a price lower than the deposit price:
The packaging is taken back at a price lower than their deposit prices for the following reasons:
- It is because the packaging has been damaged.
- It's because the supplier has set a maximum restitution deadline.
3. No return of packaging:
In some cases, the customer definitely keeps the consigned packaging. In return, the supplier retains the amount.
of the consignment.
This situation represents for:
- The supplier is a sales operation that must be recorded as a credit to account: 71278 Other sales and
accessory products.
- The client performs a purchase operation that must be recorded as a debit to account: 61232 Packaging Purchases
non-identifiable recoverables.
The consignment price is considered as a retail price including taxes.
Example: On January 31, the client DRISS informs the company that he wishes to keep the 06 consigned boxes from January 06.
On the same day, the company sends him the following credit invoice No. AV-80:

THE TRADE EFFECTS
A commercial instrument is a negotiable instrument representing a short-term receivable that is negotiable. One distinguishes
two types of commercial effects:
- The bill of exchange or draft: It is a written document by which a creditor (drawer) gives the order to his debtor (drawee) to
pay a specified amount on a fixed date (due date) to another person (beneficiary).
- The promissory note: It is a written document by which the debtor (subscriber) commits to pay a specified amount to
the due date to his creditor (beneficiary).
I. Creation of a commercial effect:
The creation of a commercial effect, that is to say, the acceptance of a bill of exchange or the subscription of a promissory note:
- For the client (debtor): this operation represents a debt towards its supplier.
- For the supplier (creditor): this operation represents a receivable from its client.
Example:
On 02/07, E/SE MANAR sends its client BADRI invoice no. 29 as follows:
net to be paid (including tax) 5.880
On 04/07, the E/SE MANAR sends to BADRI the bill of exchange no. 17 payable on 31/08.
On July 5th, the company BADRI returns the accepted bill of exchange No. 17.
1. Endorsement:

2. Discount Redemption (before the due date):
The discounting of a commercial bill involves negotiating or transferring the bill before the due date to a bank in exchange for a premium.
The profit consists of the following three elements:
Commercial discount: it is calculated on the nominal value (N.V) of the instrument for the duration (n) that separates the date of
negotiation or discount adjustment and the due date based on a discount rate (t).
(VN × n × t) /36,000
The commercial discount constitutes a financial charge for the company that must be recorded as a debit.

The commissions represent banking services for the company that must be recorded as a debit.
account: 61472 Fees on commercial papers.
The discounting: of a commercial paper is likened to a short-term loan from the bank that
must be recorded as a credit to a cash liability account: 5520 Discount Credits.

can present themselves:
